CURRENT MISSION

To learn, to doubt myself through my learnings and then to learn again!

ABOUT ME

I have been travelling ever since I was two months old, and I will never be grateful enough to my parents for my childhood around the world! I grew up to a love for Literature first and Photography later, to a point in which I changed my world around to pursue it as a job. I have just recently moved to Lugano (Switzerland) for work, and am appreciating this new stage of my life! I love to meet people from around the world and share experiences, thoughts, marvels and recipes.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life so as to have amazing stories I can entertain my grandchildren with, one day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember my childhood in Djakarta. Nanny Ipa dragging me inside as babbons invaded our garden and stole my toys. A thin black powdery layer of ashes falling everywhere after a Krakatoa eruption. And the day Papi Aya showed my brother and me the nest of a snake with hundreds of hatching eggs.
